A New Definition of a Fluid Part I, The Stokesian Fluid

Abstract

This paper forms a part of a program aimed at derivation of the correct aerodynamic equations for moderately rarefied atmospheres, such as those at altitudes of 20,000 to 100,000 feet. The basic ideas of the author's theory of fluid dynamics are here illustrated with a simple example, the Stokesian Fluid.
